Back to @RogerBW ?

346

Apologies, post-Airecon tired and catching up.

Yashima - turn complete, no money left.

Tempted as I am, I’m going to save ¤10 for the Life Support test at end of year.

Back to @Lordof1, with ¤5 left.

An afterthought: if someone would care to give me 6 money I’ll give you back 10 this year. Soviet economics!

348

Could you remind me what I have where? Sorry

349

Cash: ¤5.

Advancements:

  • 0: Atlas, Surveying, Soyuz, and effectively Rendezvous
  • 2: Re-Entry, Saturn
  • 3: Juno, Landing

Components:

  • Earth: Probe
  • Earth Orbit: 2 Juno, Atlas, Soyuz
  • Lunar Orbit: Probe, Juno

and of course one well-tended graveyard.

I’ll pass for the moment and see what everyone else does.

351

OK:

RossM has no money.

@lalunaverde has ¤22.

352

Is there a point with the size of a crew?

353

Not sure exactly what you’re asking but:

  • one astronaut can only have one skill
  • a solo astronaut needs to make a mental health check at end of year in space
  • so do astronauts who don’t have at least two seats available each
  • one Food feeds five crew for a year (but not the other way round).
354

Also we have space radiation, so you may want to pack a doctor

355

Yup, let’s lay that out too. The particular radiation we have in this iteration of the solar system requires a check for any :hourglass: manoeuvre: each astronaut rolls a d8 at the start of every manoeuvre and becomes sick if it’s :hourglass: or less. (Aldrin capsules reduce the radiation level by 1, i.e. to 0 in this game, and Space Habitats remove it completely whatever level it is.)

A sick astronaut dies at the end of the year unless treated.

Treatment is available:

  • on Earth
  • with a Medic astronaut consuming a unit of Medical Supplies (heals all sick astronauts on the craft)
  • with a Medic astronaut and a Medical Module.

Note that sick astronauts do not have skills; therefore a sick Medic can’t treat themselves.

356

What? They can’t do appendectomies on themselves?

Physician, don’t heal thyself.

358

Ok. Now I want a mini expansion with 50s style robots.

Buying Eagle capsule and 2 pilots and 1 medic. Buying Junos with the rest

361

OK, yashima has no money and no launch-ready hardware.

Nobody is lending me any money, apparently.

@Lordof1, with ¤5 I think you’re the last player in a position to do anything this year.

362

I would but I need me astronauts. Next round?
